Take the characters of The OC, One Tree Hill, and Gilmore Girls, and put them in the basic storyline of 'Hidden Palms'... Ryan moves to a new town with his mom (Kirsten) and new stepdad (Sandy) and stepbrother (Seth), following his release from rehab for drug and alchohol abuse that culminated in a suicide attempt. Soon, Ryan discovers that beneath the idyllic surface, his new home holds some dark secrets, including a mystery that he sets out to solve, even though it could put his life in danger.
